Philosoraptor is 15 years old, Bad Luck Brian and Success Kid are 12 years, but Doge (without that background) is 10 years. Best I can do is $3.50
Doge (without that background) is 10 years.
The last one is a mix of doge and advice dog, which is almost 18 years.
One might say a forgery
almost 18 years

Bad Luck Brian and Success Kid are 12 years
Bad Luck Brian looking old af was in a recent "The General Auto Insurance" commercial.
First, I'm amazed no other insurance company has thought of this.
Second, Bad Luck Brian can deliver his lines better than Shaq.
I'm the original creator of the "Still waiting on OP" meme from The Shining and have a mildly interesting story behind its creation if anyone would care to hear.
In 2014 these were already old I think
Just add a new "ten years ago memes looked like this" frame to it every decade.
Were these popular in 2014? I feel like these were more like 2010. I could be wrong.
I think they were still lingering around somewhat. I just cleared off my old laptop last night and found advice animal memes from 2014 on it. I'll probably drop a few of the better ones in 196 on Monday, maybe I'll spread the love to antique memes roadshow.
I remember a time when they weren't even called memes. They were just "image macros."
The internet peaked in 1999

Truly it was a golden age
These weren't even what we called "memes" back then (closer to twenty years ago).
These were image macros or caption images. A meme back then was usually a phrase or saying like Over 9000 and other crap like that.
Memes are not macro images.
Anyone down voting doesn't remember that this phrase itself was a meme at the time.
Bro that's like 15 years ago
Raptors are extinct by now
Doge is the best meme ever created and I will fight anyone who says otherwise.
Otherwise.
Modern memes are not nearly as good imo.
Edit: these
Modern memes are incomprehensible, just take a random picture and slap some completely unrelated text on top of it. Or maybe I'm just too old to get it. 🤷
Its funny how AI in 2024 can't come up with content as amusing or original as shitposts cooked up by teenagers from over a decade ago.
I still like them, honestly...
Giving you the backstory and appraisals of vintage memes!
